LATTIMORE BROWN - LITTLE BAG OF TRICKS

Sir Lattimore Brown's recording career began in 1960, after he spent many years absorbing the blues in his home town of Memphis.

This little-known side is one of the HOTTEST recordings ever laid to wax by Lattimore, and his powerful voice pushes a great song into even greater territory. I love the raw r&b sound mixed with slick female backing vocals and very tasteful strings making for a very dense, powerful recording.

Lattimore was a true journeyman musician, who released many records and performed live consistently (mostly in the south) up until his retirement in 1980.

Lattimore survived Hurricane Katrina (where he lost everything he owned), only to be struck and killed by a car in 2011.

from 1966...
